1. What role did feared relationship or social consequences play in what happened?
No feared consequence affected my decision.
I privately worried about disappointing them or losing the relationship, though they did not pressure me with that fear.

3. Did a difference in age, authority, status, housing, money, care, or employment affect your ability to choose?

They used authority or dependency to obtain sexual contact that I did not freely choose.
4. If a caregiver, authority figure, or support person knew or had reason to know about the situation, how did they respond?
This did not apply, or they took reasonable steps to listen, protect me, and help me access support.
They tried to help, but poverty, unavailable care, distance, or other access barriers limited what they could do.
They minimized the concern, delayed action, or failed to follow through despite having realistic options.
They knowingly enabled access, retaliated, threatened me, or prevented me from seeking protection or help.

There was a misunderstanding, but it was corrected before the boundary was crossed.
My condition was repeatedly challenged or renegotiated until the boundary became difficult to maintain.

7. How possible did it feel to leave the setting?
I could leave, and no one interfered when I wanted to do so.
An unfamiliar place or transport issue made me hesitate, but the person did not interfere.
Control of transport, privacy, or access to my phone made leaving feel difficult, though I was not physically stopped.
Someone blocked or locked an exit, restrained me, or took keys or a phone specifically to prevent me from leaving or getting help.

10. Before the sexual contact, was there a pattern of secrecy, isolation, or gradual boundary testing?
No; there was no concerning pattern of secrecy, isolation, or boundary testing.

They gradually normalized secrecy or boundary crossing, or reduced my access to supportive people.
They deliberately isolated, deceived, or conditioned me in order to facilitate sexual contact I did not freely choose.

I actively and freely agreed, without pressure or fear.
I went along while hesitant, and the other person may not have recognized that hesitation.
I felt unable to voice what I wanted, so my participation did not reflect a clear, free choice.

12. How did the other person respond when you showed reluctance or lack of interest?
They accepted my response without trying to change it.
They asked again, but accepted my final response without retaliation.
